Tebow Sets Rookie Jersey Sales Record

NEW YORK | Tim Tebow already has surpassed one of the records Mark Sanchez set as a rookie quarterback with the New York Jets last season.

A first-round pick of the Denver Broncos, Tebow sold more jerseys during the National Football League's draft weekend than any other rookie or current player.

While the league doesn't disclose sales totals, the former University of Florida quarterback logged the most jersey orders since 2006, the first year NFLShop.com joined with GSI Commerce Inc. to expand its online store. Tebow's sales totals eclipsed the previous draft-weekend record of Sanchez, who in 2009 was the first quarterback taken by the Jets with a top-five pick since Joe Namath.

"It's a pretty substantial difference between him and the next guy," NFL spokeswoman Joanna Hunter said of Tebow's jersey sales.

A distant second to Tebow in sales from April 22-25 was defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh of the Detroit Lions.

Quarterback Sam Bradford, who was the No. 1 overall pick of the St. Louis Rams, was third in rookie jersey sales, followed by Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant.

Tebow was the second quarterback taken, going 25th to the Broncos.

Miami RB Williams Unsure About His Future

MIAMI BEACH | Ricky Williams is at ease enough with himself to approve a tell-all documentary on his life.

The Miami Dolphins running back was at Monday night's premiere screening of "Run Ricky Run: Hard to Tackle, Harder to put a Finger On," at The Colony Theater on South Beach. He said he can envision life after football becoming closer to reality, and was uncertain if he'll play beyond this season.

"I'm not sure," Williams said. "There's a very good chance it could be, but I'm not sure. My body is probably the single biggest factor in the decision. Football is a game, especially the way I play, where if you can't be 100 percent, you can't do it."

But after the screening, which drew a standing ovation from the crowd, Williams seemed to be swayed a little by the emotional sentiment he felt from the audience.

"I want to play as long as it's fun still," Williams said. "I know I said this'll be my last year, but I'm having second thoughts. With Ronnie (Brown) in the backfield and Coach (Tony) Sparano and the team doing well like they are now, it's still fun."

Judge Rejects New Trial In Williams Death

DENVER | The man convicted of killing Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams has lost his initial bid for a new trial.

Denver District Judge Christina Habas turned down the request Tuesday from Willie Clark.

Clark was convicted last month of first-degree murder in Williams' death on New Year's Day 2007. Clark faces life in prison at his sentencing hearing on Friday.
